A lot of my friends have backslid--understandably--into despairposting and doomreblogging about this, so I want to give you something a bit different: the UK does not like these rioting racist twats and is prepared to say so loudly and with force.
please don't reblog posts that are "EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE" unless they contain some way for the people reading them to take action--whether it's gofundmes, or letter templates for MPs, petition links, etc. "LOOK AT THE BAD THING" is for the newspapers. we are not the newspapers, we are the people trying to fix the fucking mess they've made.
